One thousand nine hundred and forty three years old Roman Silver

[oldsoapy]

Went out early today to try and beat the coming rain that was forecast for the afternoon, but the rain curtailed the hunt down to a couple of hours. Not before l found my 5th Roman silver of the year, but l think the best one! First one l have found of the Civil War of 69AD.

Must admit my faithful T2 warned me to look, as it bleeped the right sound. on looking closely l could see the grey disc.(20mm) . And yes l have to agree the recent heavy rains had helped. l have like you on several occasions in the past found other coins on the surface, but usually the detector gives a signal first. Every time l look at the coin l get to like it more and more. !!

Yes, its an amazing coin. It reminds me of my best hammered Henry I (only 1 recorded) which was laying on the top. I looked down & saw a small cross, & didn't really realise what it was....(always a good sign).
Dad this year got a 'eyes only' Celtic Bronze Coin; which is near impossible to repeat. Its all about the experience, & this has it all, rarity, mystery, & turns up on top!

Hutch,

Looks like a pretty good match to my eye.....some pretty serious coin if that's the version.

The Legend looks right, but its a different looking head, not sure if this matters with this type, I would need Dad to check the books again.
